Nigel Farage's latest aping of Trump politics - promoting a crypto business which he himself has invested in. MPs must be banned from promoting financial products in this way.

I’ve pressed the Council for a timeline for reopening the path along the Ouseburn near the Sinfonia following the collapse of an old wall on the slope above. They say it is complicated and may take some time to fix. 😕

The Generals want their kit and Ministers want the UK defence sector to be able to sell that kit overseas (in fact they need to export or we couldn't afford it). This leads to the pressure to fold when things aren't going right. It also begs the question of who do we sell it to?

I recall several occasions where pressure from above led to contractors being let off the hook for underperforming. None of these became complete s**tshows like Ajax, but it was very difficult to stand up and say "there's something not right here."

Having worked in defence procurement as a 20-something, I'm very sceptical about the use of % of GDP as a measure of our national safety. Here's a recent example of how spending money does not mean capability. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/defence-secret…

The very clearly anti semitic social media posts of one of the Green candidates in my ward have been brought to my attention by the local media. He is a retired GP. 😬🤢

The world seems a little less crazy today following Orban’s fall. The fact that JD Vance gets humiliated is the 🍒 on the 🍰

Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes. The UK cannot be complicit. Keir Starmer must withdraw US access to UK air bases now.

Following concerns from residents about the proposed demolition of the old Sinfonia building, we've asked Planning Control to check the asbestos survey was carried out by a qualified person (and not just a cursory check) and publish it as part of the planning application.

Do these idiots not know how their narrative arc always ends, no matter how much they debase themselves?
